the closures'for both sections or compart.

ments will be between the two sections or compartments, so that both the upper and lower heads or ends of. the vessel, as an entirety, may be smooth and plain and free from cap. or cover-like projections, and so that both closures may be protected orin closed or embraced by the two "sections'o'r compartments of the structure as a whole,

and in which the closurg for the main or.

lower section may serve as the means for securing the two sections of the can together.

My improved can is especially designed for paints having bronze or other powder intended to be mixed with the liquid paint shortly before using, and which it is desired should be kept dry and in a separate compartment from the liquid paint. i

My invention consists in the novel construction of parts and devices and in the novel combinations of parts and devices herein shown and described and b'y'whlch this object or result is accomplished, the

same being more particularly specified in the .claims.

In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a central vertical section of a sectional or com artment can embodying my invention; ig. 2 is a detail bottom view of the upper section showing a gasket or packlng and the retaining flange therefor, partly broken away, and

head disk B o'f-the main section.

I), and C is the bottom head ofthe lower or main section.

D is the body of the upper or horizontal section, the same bein preferably seamless, and having an integra head (i and an integral outwardly projecting marginal flange or rim (1. r

F is the annular head disk of the upper or supplemental section, the same having an inner inwardly projecting annular friction seat wallf surrounding its filling'opening F- for engagement with the friction seat wall 9 of its friction cap or cover G, and alsoan outer annular friction seat wall f for engagement with the' frictionseat wall I) of the annular I The annular head disk "Yet the supplemental section D also has an outwardly projecting rim f provided a curved marginal flange f which embraces the 'acking or gasket H, which is interposed etween the annular head disk of the lower or main section and the annular head disk of the upper or supplemental section of the can.

The annular head disk F o'f'the upperor sup lemental section is preferably secured to t e body D of said section by solder d, between the rim d of said section and the f of said annular head disk F. The rim j of. the annular head disk F may preferably be provided with an annular groove f 4 to aid in retaining the packin or gasket in place the annular head isk F. The crease f 5 between the ackin holding flange f? of the annular head disk of the upper section and the annular head disk B of the lower section, affords easy entrance to a wedge-like im lement in prying1 oil the upper section an thus opening t 'e lower section. The annular head disk F of the up er or supplemental section serves as a riction cover closure for the lower or main section and also as the ineans for lpcking or securing the two sections together. V

In my invention, it will thus be seen that both the main or lower section and the uper or supplemental section have annular liead disks, and one of these annular head disks, that which is permanently secured to the u per or supplemental section is furnishe with both an inner friction seat wall and an outer friction seat wall. The annu lar head disk 'B of the lower section has a single friction seat wall I), while the annular head disk F of the upper or supplemental head and a smooth and permanently closed firm and bracing contact with each other its filling opening which is closed by a screw the two sections and one within the other; so

' bined can and thus discolor the other goods between the head disks of the two sections produce a very strong and secure union be- .-upper or supplemental section Dhas the section has two friction seat walls, an inner I one f, which receives the cap G, and an outer one f which fits within the depending friction seat wall I; of the annular head disk B of the lower or main section. This construction gives the complete structure both a smooth and permanently closed lower end or upper end or head (1, and the friction closures for both sections are at the meeting ends of that both closures are protected by the main portions of the two sections and so that. the closures are one within the oiher'so that any accidental leakage fom one compartment is not liable to get onto the outside of the comon the shelf. The annular head disks of the two sections being at the meeting ends of the two sections are thus brought into tight,

both at their interen aging annular friction seat walls 1), f and a so at their rim or disk ortions surroundin and outside of these 'riction seat walls indirectly through the interposed packing disk H. The double surfaces of contact at right angles to each other tween the two so that one section is not liable to be tilted in respect to the other and the closure of the main section thus loosened.

When the upper and lower sections are secured together, the closures for both sections are between the two sections and protected and inclosed thereby; and both the u per and lower ends of the united or comp etc can as a whole are plain and smooth and ree from external cap or closure-like projections. My improved can thus presents as an entirety a convenient form and shape for handling and shipment as the opposite flat ends of the can may be readily stacked or piled one on top of another.

The interior friction cap or cover G of the customar marginal pry-off rim 9 furnished with a fo g In the modification illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5 the annular head disk F of the upper section is rovided with a rim f 8 having an' upturned Hange f 7 which is folded over the rim or fiaiige d of the up ersection D, thus securing these parts toget er.

In the modification illustrated in Fig. 5- the annular head disk F of the upper section, has a screw threaded flange f 8 surrounding cap G In the modifications illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5 a flat annular packing disk H is placed on the annular head disk F of the upper or sup lemental section D surroundingv the neo or friction seat wall ortion f thereof, and is securely held and clamped in position 1 when the two sections are forced snu ly to 'gether and the friction seat walls I), 1 thus causedto have a firm, tight, frictional grip, one on the other.
